Chap 5

In Rishabh's house..

T: Tum itne dino baad to mujhe milo ho…aur abhi tumhein jana hai..

R: Itnein saaloin se sabra kiya hai, aur thoda kar lo..

T: Maloom hai…dukh to is baat ka hai ki..itne saal lag gaye…

Rishabh gets a call..

R: Hello.

Caller: Tum hara raaz mujhe maalum hai ..

R: Kaun bol raha hai? Hello?(and checks for the number,but it's blocked)

Caller: Bahut hi jald tumhein maalum ho jayega ki mein kaun huin…

R: Bakwaas band karo (and he cuts the phone..)

T: rishabh.yeh kya tha? Kaun tha phone par?

R: Pata nehi..hoga koi..

T: Nehi Rishabh..hamein fhook fhook kar kadam rakhna padega..

R: yeh, tum sahi kah rahi ho..

T: Mujhe chalna chahiye ..Saahil ko shak ho jayega warna..

R: OK..mein fir tumhein trip ke aad milta huin…

And tripti leaves the his house and heads out to her car..she notices something around the corner and turns to look…but whatever it was, was gone..she shrugs it off as her imagination and drives back home..

In Saahil's room, he dials Ganga's number..

S: Hello Ganga?

G: Hain bol rahi huin..

S: Saahil..

Ganga thinks to herself: Tum hari awaz ko mein kaise na pahchanu Saahil. And then speaks on the phone...

G: subh phone kia tha..

S: Lakshya ne bataya mujhe..sorry phone par a nehi saka..

G: koi baat nehi..tender mein bahut bada problem hai..Koi doosri party hai, jisne hamse thoda hi kam tender bhara hai., at the last moment.

S: Yeh kaise mumkin hai? Meine to Mr.Agarwal se baat ki thi, unhoine hamein deal pakki kar di thi..fir last moment mein yeh kaun si aprt hai?

G: Tum mere ghar a sakte ho, to hum baith kar deal suljha sakte hain, sharma ji bhi ayenge.

S: Hain, mein a raha huin

And they hang up the fone..

In SN, tripti enters the house and goes to her room..Saahil is getting ready to leave, and she does not notice that, as he is in the adjacent bathroom, Tripti sneakly opens the cupboard, Saahil just happens to open the bathroom door, and sees tripti fiddling with the files. Saahil, gets out, and ..

S: Itne raat komere cupboard mein kya dhoond rahi ho?

A shocked Tripti turns, almost sure she is caught..

T: saahil, tumne to mujhe dara hi diya…

S: Tum to is tarah chonki, jaise meine tumhein kuch galat kaam karte huye pakad liya ho..

T: Kya saahil..tum bhi na..mein to baas yahain kuch rakhne ayi thi..accha wohh batein chodo, aaj mein apne dost se mili, are wohi, rishabh, wo bata raha tha ki uske paas ek accha business proposition hai. Mein to kahti huin, tum uske partner ban jao…fir tumhein koi nehi rok sakta..Waise itne raat ko kahain ja rahe ho?

S: Kuch kaam tha..mujhe jana hai..

T: raat ko kaun sa kaam agaya tumhein?

S: Jab tum mujhe kuch bata kar nehi jati, to mujhse bhi umeed mat rakhna..

Saahil gets ready and leaves..

Tritpti thinks to herself loud…Yeh saahil, itni raat ko kisse milne ja raha hai? Mujhe pata lagana hi hoga..waise aaj to mein baal baal bach gayee..kahin saahil ko pata lag gaya ho ta ki..

Saahil walks in,..

S: Kya pata chal jata mujhe Tripti?

Tritpt has a blank look on her face and almost turns pale…she feigns sickness and tumbles down..Saahil rushes to her and says..

S: Aajkal tum kuch jyada hi sochne lagi ho…apna kayal rakho..

He picks up a file and leaves…

Tripti almost had a heart attack and thinks about the anonymous caller and thinks she needs to be extra careful…

Saahil reaches Ganga's house and rings the bell..the butler opens the door

Saahil enters the house…Ganga speaks out from her study..

G: Mein apne study room mein huin Saahil, ajao..

Saahil enters her study room…

G: Aao saahil..baitho..

S: Kya baat hai Ganga..kaafi pareshaan ho?

G: Hain saahil yeh, last moment mein, pata nehi kaun sa party hai, meine apna kafi bada share daaw par laga chuki huin…agar hamein yeh deal nehi mila, to bahut bada loss hoga.

S: Party ka naam kya hai?

G: R.S. enterprises…

S: Mein is company ke bare mein poori jankari lagat huin, tum chinta maat karo..

Ganga gets up from her chair and goes towards the balcony into the clear sky..

Saahil, stands up slowly and goes behind her..

S: Kya soch rahi ho Ganga..

G: Us chaand ko dekh rahe ho saahil..usme kitna daag hai, par sabhi fir bhi uski chandni ko shudh mante hain..

S: Tum kya kahna chati ho, Ganga..

G: Ganga chahe, kitni bhi maile kyon na ho jaye..wo, Ganga hi rahti hai..

S: Aur yeh saahil us Ganga ke bina adhura hai..

G: Ek baat poochuin Saahil…

S: Hain poocho na, tumhara haq banta hai..

G: Haq to nahi hai, par fir bhi, zaroor poochungi… Tumne Tripti mein aisa kya dekha jo mujhse door ho gaye?

Saahil looks down ashamedly…and finds it hard to speak…he swallows and controls his urge to not scream into the night and tell the world, what a jerk he had been for doing the unthinkable…but he bit his lips and looked away…

G: tumhari chuppi ne sab bata diya saahil…jao ghar jao..aur mujhe us company ka poora details baad mein dena..

Saahil looks up at Ganga who is looking out, at the horizon..and begins to say something, but doesn't, and he starts to leave..

Ganga turns back to look at him..but he doesn't turn…she turns back again..and then Saahil turns back to look at her…and disappointed walks away..

In the background, somewhere..the song floats…" Dekha na tune mudke bhi peecheKuch der to main ruka tha,…Jab dil ne tujhko rokna chaaha, door tu jaa chukka tha…."

Ganga stood there looking out into the sky..

Saahil walked towards his car..and drove away into a dark clear night…towards, something he didn't wanna call home anymore..bcoz he knew his heart was elsewhere..

From far away , in another building, a prying binocular looked on into the direction of Ganga and her house..tracing every step and movement she makes…and the vibrating phone in his pocket almost made him jump out of his position…

(To be Continued…)

Chap 6

Someone gets a call….
Caller: Hello..kaam ho gaya ?
Callee: Baas ho jayega, aap chinta maat kijiye..
Caller: Theek se karna, bahut kuch daaw par laga hai. Tumhein tumhara paisa kaam ke baad mil jayega.
Callee: Pura taiyar rakhna..
Caller: Pahle kaam to khatam karo..
And the caller cuts the call..the callee, resumes his position and positions it towards the lit window…he watches her turn and takes an aim…

In SN the next morning, Tripti is comes down from her room..she meets Mohini on her way..
M: arey tripti, aj kal to tum dikti hi nahi ho? Kya baat hai??
T: Yehi sooch lo, ki mere haat hira lagne ki der hai..
M: Acchhhaa?Aisa kya kar rahi ho?
T: Tum bas dkhati jao..
And she walks away, leaving a surprised and contemplating Mohini behind…

Tripti reaches some place..
Rishabh walks from behind and surprises her…
T: Uuff, tumne to mujhe dara hi diya..
R: Darna to ab SNwaloin ko hai…
T: Hain, par ab jo bhi karna hai, jaldi karo..tum ja kab rahe ho?
R: Kal shaam ko, pahle yahain se hum mahabaleshawar jayenge, aur phir lonavala..Waise, Saahil akele hi ja raha hai na??
T: Hum??? Mein nehi ja sakti tumhare saath.. ghar mein sabhi ko shak ho jayega..jab tak deal seal na ho jaye..tab tak..hamein aise hi milna padega.. aur rahi baat Saahil ki, to hain, jahain tak mein janti huin, who akele hi ja raha hai….
Rishabh grabs her hand, and brings her closer to him, and speaks..
R: dhyaan se suno Tripti…bahut badi deal ki baat hai, itna sa bhi gadbad nehi hona chahiye..saahil ko kuch bhi shak nehi hona chahiye..

Tripti tries to get rid of his arm,and groans in pain…and looks surprisingly at Rishabh..
T: Tum mujhe hurt kar rahe ho Rishabh, chodo mujhe..
Rishabh leaves her hand..and Tripti mumbles something..
R: I am sorry sweetheart..you know mein kaisa huin..aab tum to nehi chati na ki ham yeh deal loose kar jaein, (and then his soft tone, changes and he sternly looks at tripti) and mujhe yeh bilkul pasand nehi hoga ki hum isse tumhari kisi bhi bewakufi ke karan haar jayein…
T: Tum chinta mat karo rishabh, mein poora pata lagati huin, ki saahil, deal ke bare mein kya sochta tha hai..
And with that she hurriedly leaves from there, rubbing her wrist, as she walked away..


In Ganga's office..her manager enters her cabin with some files …
G: Arey sharma ji, ayiye..kuch pata chala us doosre company ka?
S: Mam, ajeeb baat to yeh hai, ki is company ka, India mein koi branch nehi hai, aur jahan tak mujhe maloom chala hai, abroad mein bhi yeh , koi badi company nehi hai..
G: Accha? To phir unhoin ne yeh tender kaise bhara? Itna sara paisa kahain se aya??
S: Mam, mujhe thoda aur waqt dijiye, mein aur pata lagat huin.
G: Sharma ji, waqt nahi hai, hamein kal shaam ko jana hai aur aaj yeh musibat…
Saahil enters her cabin…Ganga looks up..
S: Ganga..mujhe us doosre company ke bare mein kuch pata chala hai..
Uska malik, Rishabh hai.
G: Rishabh??
S:Hain, Rishabh Malhotra, par company zayada badi nehi hai..
G: Saahil kuch to gad bad hai, is company ka kuch nehi pata chal raha, aur yeh hamare barabar ke tender bhar rahe hain?? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai!
S: Kaal deal signing ke waqt to mulakat hogi hi, tab pata chal jayega..
G: deal milegi tab na! Hamein uske quote se thoda kaam karna padega…sharmaji, kya apko unka quote maloom hai?
Sharma ji: Mam sunne mein aya hai, ki who ham se, sirf das hazar kam hai…par who bhi pakki khabar nahi hai..
G: Accha..aap tender ko maat badaliye..ham apne standard se nahi hatenge..kaal jab dono parties ki mulakat hogi, tab ham apne credibility par yeh contract jitenge..Par hain, Sharma ji, ap pata lagaye , is Rishabh Malhotra ke bare mein..
And Sharmaji leaves the cabin..
Ganga walks up to a picture of thakurji and prays, that everything should go well..
Saahil walks up behind her…and..
S: Bhagvan par bharosa rakho Ganga, sab theek ho jayega..
G: tum samajh nehi rahe Saahil..meine apna bahut kuch is contract par lagaya hai…agar hamein nahi mila, to investors ko kya javab denge….aur jo loss hoga who alag..
Saahil puts his hands on her shoulder and slowly turns her towards him…
S: Ganga, tumse zindagi mein , maine ek hi cheez sheeka hai,
Ganga looks up emotionally..and Saahil continues..
S: Tumne hmesha sach ka saath diya, aur kabhi haar ne, tumhein nehi haraya..tum jhuk kar bhi, kabhi tooti nehi Ganga, aur tumhare isi dhairya , ne mujhe ashwasan diya hai, aj tak, ki tum jo bhi karogi, sahi karogi..himmat rakho Ganga..
G: Mujh par itna wiswas karte ho Saahil?
S: Karta tha, karta huin, aur hamesha karta rahunga…
He lets go of her and turns away…and continues..
S: ek tum ho, jo har halat ko sambhal leti ho, aur ek mein, halat se majboor..kaash Ganga tum eh kah pati ki tum mujh par wiswas karti ho..par yeh galat ho ga..kyon ki…mein tumare wishwas ke layak…
And Ganga comes towards him n puts a hand over his mouth..
G: Wishwas, bahut badi cheez hai Saahi…mujhe itna bhi sharminda na karo…
She takes her hands away, shyingly and continues..
G: Jo huya, wohh kal tha..usse koi nehi badal skata, jo ho raha hai..wohh hamare haat mein hai Saahil..aur jo hoga,wohh….
S: Wohh..kya Ganga?
G: Wohh..wohh…sirf tumhare haath mein hoga…
And she leaves him standing there and walks out of her cabin..Saahil looked on and wanted to stop her…but her knew..she was right…She always was..He knew, this was his chance to repay her, for all the good things, she was to him, for the beautiful life she had once given him..and he knew he had to set things right..and he knew what he had to get rid off..

Rishabh made the call..
R: Dhyaan se suno..Kaal..Mumbai se ek silver rang ki gaadi, lonavala pahunchegi..
Age tum jante ho kya kar na hai…
Callee: Ji Sir, sab intezaam ho gaya hai..plan ke mutabik..sab ho jayega..
R: Good…
And he cuts the phone down..

Ganga calls Lakshya, not finding him on the phone, she leaves him a message…
G: Laksya, suno..mein chati huin, ki tum Saahil ke saath , kal shaam ko Lonavala jao..
Mujhe kuch kaam hai, mein wohh niptakar, raat ko ajaungi
And Ganga hangs up…The picture of Lakshya n Ganga taken during Lakshya's first birthday, falls to the ground…

And a silver Honda, reaches Shantiniketan…

Chap 7


Lakshya was in his room, reading some papers…Tripti walked in…
T: Lakshya beta, kaal, tum ghar par hi rahna…mujhe kuch kaam hai..
L: Ma..mujhe office ke kaam se bahar jana hai…kya kaam tha apko?
T: Bahar? Kahain jana hai?
L: Ganga Ma, ka phone aya tha, wohh chati hai ki mein Papa ke saath Lonavala chaluin..
T: Koi zaroorat nehi hai..Papa sambhal lenge..aur tum ghar par hi rahna..
And with that Tripti leaves a visibily puzzled and thoughtful Lkashya in his room…

Ganga is in her house…
The song "Tu jo nehi to, kuch bhi nehi" is playing in the background..she thinks about all the things that went wrong with her and Saahil's relation..she thinks about when Tripti had just come between them, how sour their relationship had turned..and how desparately she wanted Saahil back…She had tears in her eyes thinking, that so many years later, tomorrow she will be with him again, even though only for a few hours, she will be with the one person she loved the most in her life..and the one son she gave birth to, but could never call her own..and tomorrow she will finally have her family…Her cell phone rings and brings her back from her trance…she smiles to herself..as she sees the phone is from Lakshya..

G: Hello , beta.
L: Ganga Ma, kya kaal mera jana zaroori hai??
G: Kyon beta? Kuch kaam agaya tha kya?
L:Nehi ma,wohh..arey, aap chinta mat kijiye, main apko kaal milta huin..
G: Agar nehi a sakte to koi baat nehi beta…
L: Nehi Ma..mein apko kaal saath baje milta huin…Ab mujhe jana chahiye..
And before Ganga could say anything..Lakshya hung up..
Ganga felt a weird uneasiness… and then she let that feeling go as just her motherly love..
Only time would tell if she was right or wrong…

Tripti sneaks out of the house without anyone asking her, what she does not notice is Karan sitting in the dinning hall…Karan feels something is not right and walks upto the main door..Tripti does not see him, gets into a waiting car outside the house and leaves…Karan is worried and goes upto Saahil's room to tell…as he walks towards their room, Tanya stops him….

T: Kahain ja rahe ho Karan?
K: Saahil se milna hai..
T: Itne raat ko??
K: Hain, kuch kaam tha…
T: Aisa kya kaam agaya jo kal tak nehi ruk sakta??
K: zaroori nahi hai, ki har kaam tumhein bata kar karuin..
T: Janane ka haq banta hai mujhe..
K: Haq ki baat kar hi rahi ho to, suno…tumhara haq banta hai ki, tum Ma ho kar, bachoin ko sahi aur galat ka fark karna sikhao..yeh nehi ki unke galtiyoin par parda dalo..
T: Manthan tum hara beta tha..
K: Beta to Ansh bhi tha na, Tulsi ma ka? Apna beta..
T: Hain, mein tulsi ma jaisi mahan nehi huin..nehi kar sakti mein unke jaisi kaam
K: Hain, to fir, haq ki baat bhi mat karo..
He leaves a stunned Tanya behind, and agitated walks away, forgetting all about talking with Saahil…

Tripti reaches an unknown place…from behind some trees, Rishabh walks out..
T: Rishabh…kal lakshya bhi lonavala ja raha hai,Saahil ke saath…
R: To??
T: To ka kya Matlab…ek problem tha..ab do hai!!
R: Laksya hai na uska naam? Kya bigad lega wohh??
T: Hamare plan ko choupat bhi kar sakta hai…mein to chatithi ki sirf saahil hi chalein, taki hamara plan kamayab ho jaye, bina kisi problem ke…use bewakoof banana, bahut aasan hai!!
R: hmm…don't, worry Tripti..mera plan fool proof hai..ab tumhari Ganga maiya, khud ajaye to bhi, mein peeche nehi hatunga…bahut intezaar kiya hai…Kah do apni bete se..ki , agar aur bhi deals karna chata hai, apni zindagi mein, to is deal se peeche hat jaye…Mere aur is deal ke beech ab koi nehi ayega…Koi nehi…

Tripti feels uncomfortable with the way Rishabh spewed his venomous greed…she felt scared…for herself..but shrug it off as just her mind playing games…

The next morning, everyone meets at the dinning table…tripti is missing…Tulsi asks Saahil..
T: Saahil, Tripti nehi dikh rahi hai?
S: kahin bahar gayi hai Ma..
T: Itni subah, kahain gayee hai?
Suddenly, karan remembers her leaving the house, late last night..
K: Saahil, tumse kuch baat karni thi,
S: Hain Karan, bolo,..
K: Wohh..kaal raat ko maine..
Mohini interrupts..
M: Kya baat hai saahil..subah gayi..yah poori raat….and she smiles slyly…
Tulsi gives her a stern look..
M: Nehi, wohh, mein kah rahi thi ki….Arey archita beta…
She shouts her name and runs towards her room…Karan starts to say something..
Before he can complete…Tripti walks into the house..she starts to go up directly…
Saahil stops her from behind..
S: Tripti..
T: Off ho Saahil…jab dekho tokte rahte ho..
S: Kahain thi ab tak??
T: Tumse Matlab?
S: Mein tumhara Pati huin..
By now, the whole family is looking towards the ensuing fight..
T: Pati bane kab tum mere, jo ab jata rahe ho?? Hamesha to Ganga ke age peeche dolte rahte ho…jo tumhein gaas bhi nehi deti..
Saahil shouts..: Tripti..
T: Chilao maat saahil…mein kahin bhi jaun, kuch bhi karuin, tumse kya?
S: Tripti..bakwas band karo…aur apne kamre mein jao..
T: Khabardar jo fir kabhi mujhse unchi awaz mein baat ki to…
S: To kya tripti? Kya kar logi tum?? Itne saaloin se sabr kar raha huin…aur nehi..
T: hain hain kyon nehi…Ganga ke saath kam karte karte…tum hare par jo nikal aye hain..
Saahil, gives one tight slap to Tripti…everybody in the house is shocked..Tulsi comes running towards Saahil…
Tu: Saahil yeh kya kiya tumne..
S: Wohi badima..jo bahut pahle karna chaiye tha…
And saahil leaves for his room..leaving a stunned , embarrassed and reddened Tripti,before the family…

Tulsi tells everyone to leave for their work and rooms..she talks to Tripti..
Tu: Jao apne kamre mein jao..
T: Ap to kuch kahiye hi maat..pahle to is ghar par tulsi kah kar baith gayi hai…chali kyon nehi jati..
Tu: Mein kaun huin..iska chinta tum mat karo..tum kya ho..aur kya rahogi..iske bare mein socho..
With that..tulsi leaves for the kitchen..

Tripti, standing on the stairs, humiliated and angry..thought to herself and..muttered under her breath…Saahil, tumhein mein sirf aaj ke raat ke liye sah rahi huin…uske baad mein is tamache ka, tum ko aisa jawab dungi…sari zindagi bhar gunjegi, tumhare Ganga aur Tulsi Ma ke kanoi mein…yeh, tripti ka wada hai…

(To Be continued…)

Chap 8-part 1

In SN, KT , Tulsi, Damini and Archita are in the kitchen preparing lunch for everyone..
Daksha dadi walks into the kitchen and aska KT…
DD: Arey, KT, Ekalavya, kahain hain?
KT: Wohh toh subah hi office ke liye nikal gaye..
DD: Accha hai..sabhi kaam ke chale gaye..ghar mein thoda shanty to hai!!
Lakshya walks down from his room..DD sees that..
DD: Lo..eh to yehein hai! Lakshya, office nahi gaya?
L: Nahi dadi, aaj shaam ko mujhe Lonavala jana hai, to baaas usika taiyari kar raha tha..
DD: accha..kya ho raha hai wahain par?
L: Ek deal sign karni hai…mil gayi to Papa ko kafi fayda ho sakta hai..
DD: acch hai..pata nahi mujhe kab himmat se fayada hoga!!
And DD leaves for her room…
KT leaves the kitchena and walks upto Lakshya...
KT: Lakshya, tum Saahil chachu ke saath ja rahe ho?
L: Nahi, Papa ganga mom ko pick up karke mujhe Lonavala mein milenge..
KT: Oh..to tum akele jaoge? Dyaan se jana..
L: Pareshaan maat ho? Kya hoga mujhe?? Aur phir kuch ho gaya to thakurji haina mere saath..
KT shuts Lakshya up with her hand on his lips..Laksya looks deeply into her eyes..while Kt can no longer control her welding tears…As tears roll down her cheeks..
Lakshya slowly removes her hand, and wipes her tears…
L: Arey pagli, kyon ro rahi hai? Mein ek din ke liye hi to ja raha huin..aur phir Ganga mom aur papa bhi to saath mein honge..
KT: Mujhe darr lag raha hai Lakshya..please maat jao..
L: KT, mujhe kuch nahi hoga…meri kasam..
KT: Nahi..apni kasam maat lo…meri lo..tabhi yakeen hoga mujhe..
Lakshya hesitates to put his hand on her head…and doesn't do it..KT looks sad..
KT: Tum mere sabse acche dost ho Lakshya..tumhein kuch ho gaya to..mera kya hoga Lakshya?
L: Dost?? (Lakshya looks hurt, and ticked off)
L: Bhale hi tum mere pyaar ko dosti ka naam do…par Tum ho to, mein huin KT, tum nahi to, yeh Lakshya bhi nahi…aaj tumse yeh wada hai mera…jab tak yeh saansein chalegi, tab tak, mera, dil, dhadkan aur meri zindagi, sirf tum hi se pyaar karega, tumhare saath ki aas lagaye rahe ga, bhale hi is janam mein hum, ek doosre ke na ho sake..par har agle janam mein tum,sirf meri ho…
And Lakshya heartbroken leaves, leaving an upset and sad KT behind….she slowly walks into the kitchen again, as though nothing had happened…

In Ganga's office, she is meeting with SharmaJi to make some final papers ready…Sharmaji is talking..
Sh: Maam, pata chala hai ki, Rishabh Malhotra ka koi, internal link hai, hamari company ke saath..
G: internal?? Kaun janta hai use?
Sh: yeh to abhi pata nahi laga hai maam, par, bahut hi jald pata laga lunga..
G: Sharmaji..yeh janana bahut hi awashayak hai, ki who kaun hai, ho mare saath rah kar, hamare hi peeth par chura ghop raha hai!!
Sh: Ji maam, mein pata karta huin..
And he leaves to get some files and papers ready..Saahil walks into her office room..
S: Ganga…
G: Tum hare paas hi a rahi thi mein Saahil..
S: Investors ka kahna hai ki, agar hamein yeh deal nahi mili, to shayad hamein apna sab kuch khona padega…
G: hain Saahil…is liye to mein pata lagana chati huin ko, Rishabh Malhotra ko information kisne diya..
S: tumhara , Matlab hai, ki wohh, hamare office ka koi hai??
G: Office ka hai ya nahi, who to pakka nahi maalum, par koi to hai, jo yeh deal hamare haath mein nahi lagne dena chata hai..Sunne mein aya hai, ki Rishabh ne investors se..pachas karod ka loan liya hai….agar use yeh deal mil gayi to hamara…pachas karod ka nuksaan ke saath saath..hamari reputation bhi chali jayegi!!
Saahil, is preoccupied about how tripti had returned late in the morning and how she had found her snooping around in the room..he vows to find out what she is upto..
G: Saahil? Kahain ko gaye ho?
S: Kuch nahi..baas kuch yaad agaya tha..
Ganga looks at Saahil, worriedly..
G: Sab theek to hain na Saahil?? Tum mujhe bata sakte ho..kya baat hai?

Saahil thinks to himself, not realizing that he is staring at Ganga…Batana to bahut kuch chata huin, Ganga, in bees saloin ka, gam, in bees saloin ka mera pyaar..sab kuch batana chata huin…par darr lagta hai..kahin mein tumhein wapas dukh na pahuchauin…
As thought Ganga could hear his heart talk..she thought to herself…Sunna chatihuin Saahil...tum hari hansee, tumhare gum, sab kuch sunna chati huin..taras gaya hai ye kaan tumhari zaban se meri naam, pyaar se pukarne ke liye..taras gayi hai yeh Ganga..bees saal se, apne zindagi samet te samet te…
Saahil thinks..of the day, when he had actually met Ganga as Karan's friend..and how he had so madly fallen in love with her…how he had learnt to love life, all over again…and he remembered the day, he had finally proposed to her…as though in a trance..Saahil moves up close to Ganga…Ganga could almost feel her heart thumping in her throat…She stands up from her chair and they keep looking into each other…Saahil, reachs out and touches Ganga's shoulder..as though questioning through his eyes for her acceptance..the touch made a chill run down her spine and she almost lost her balance..only this time..she didn't fall..Saahil was there to hold her before she did..and ..
S: Sambhal ke Ganga.…
G: I am sorry Saahil…(and she turns away, trying hard to control her tears..)
S: Galti meri hai Ganga…jo saahil, apne Ganga se door chala gaya…
G: Waqt ne hamein aaj is dorahe par khada kar diya hai…chah kar bhi…
S: Ganga..aaj bhi mein..
G: Aaj bhi kya Saahil…(and thinks to herself..bolo Saahil…please boldo..)
Saahil, takes Ganga's hand in his hand…Ganga gets nervous…
S: Aaj bhi meri zindagi mein tumhari kaami hai Ganga…nahi bhula paya hamari pyaar ko… aaj bhi bahut pyaar karta huin , main tumse …I Love you, Ganga.

Chap 8 – part 2
The following happened between 6-7 pm…

Lakshya's words were ringing in KT's ears…she stared out of the window of her room, and watched two kids play..she remember how she and Laksya used to indulge in playful romance..and all the times she misunderstood him..and the day he actually proposed to her…and then when she found out that she was also Ekalavya's love interest..and to the day when her life crashed , her hopes of a life with the one person she cared for the most..and then she felt guilty..her guilt of having her love and her friend..seeped in..
She had hurt unknowingly the two people who she cared for the most..and she knew she had to correct it..it was now or never…she goes to Lakshya's room to give him gahi shakkar before he leaves for the trip, but doe not find him..she gets sad and leaves…

A man is waiting in a black sedan outside SN, he waits in patience for his prey to come out… As the jeep leaves the house..the twilight setting sun lents a glitter on the tinted windows of the car, as the man in the sedan careens his head to see who was inside the leaving car..convinced that his prey isn't out yet..he sits tight in his car..almost like a hawk perched ready to succumb it's prey…then another car comes out…and he immediately follows it…after a while the car stops in front of a store and a woman gets out…finding the time apt, two men jump out of the following car kidnap her…to the horror of the driver and the kidnapee…all she remembers are those piercing eyes of her assailant. and then she blanks out…

Saahil, is preparing for his trip..he gets up to get the files for the trip…he turns to look at the clock and hurries as he finds he is gonna be late…he picks up his watch, opens the night stand draw to get his keys, something catches his eyes…he pics up the envelop and finds it addressed to Tripti…He decides to open it..as he begins to pull out the content, he receives a call on his cell…he sees it's Ganga..and thinks of the happening of the morning…there was an awkwardness…
S: Hello…
G: Hello Saahil…
And there was silence,which spoke volumes…like all the nights they lay wide awake thinking about each other..and the time they had lost…but Saahil's voice, cracked them back to reality..
S: Ganga..mein baas tayaar hi ho raha tha..(he answered her while trying to see what inside the enevelop, but gave up and put it in his bag..)
G: Saahil, kya tum mujhe pick up kar sakte ho?
S: Ganga, aaj subah ke liye..I am..
G: Don't be Saahil…baas bhool jao ki aisa kuch hua tha…mujhe apna kabu rakhna chahiye..I am sorry Saahil..
S: Tum kyon maafi mang rahi ho Ganga…
G: Saahil, hum in sab ke bare mein baad mein baat kar sakte hain…mein tumhe Lonavala mein milti huin..
S: aur tumhein pick up?
G: Nahi, mein akele hi chali jaungi….
S: Ok, Ganga…mein tumhein baad mein milta huin…
And before he could say something, Ganga cut the phone..
Saahil felt hopelessly helpless..he wanted her back in his life..and yet did not know what to do..he felt trapped and he felt frustrated…and he felt angry.. He tries to find where tripti is, and not able to find her…he just packs his bag and leaves…outside SN, he finds Tulsi in the garden..
T: Saahil beta..
S: Badi Ma..mein lonavala ja raha huin..
T: Accha..dhyaan se jana beta…thakurji tumahre saath hain..
Saahil says bye and leaves in his silver sedan….
At the same time, Ganga gets into her car and leaves too..

The following takes place between 7-9 pm…

Laksya, having been the first one to leave the house, was far ahead in the road. Towards Lonavala..what he didn't realize is his gas running out and with no petrol station nearby…his jeep was as good as nothing…He stopped his car on the side of the highway..and started flagging down cars…no one stopped..frustrated he called Saahil..
S: Arey Lakshya, kahain ho tum?
L: Papa, wohh meri gaadi mein,jaldi mein petrol bharna bhool gaya, aur ab gaadi ruk gayi..
S: Accha,tum ab kahain ho?
L: Mein Mumbai se 20 km door huin…
S: Theek hai, tum apne gaadi mein raho, mein a raha huin…fir hum saath chaleinge..
L: Theek hai Papa..
Saahil calls up Ganga..
G: Hain Saahil Bolo?
S: Lakshya ka gaadi kharab ho gaya hai…mein uske pick up karke tumse Lonavala mein milta huin..
G: Ek kaam karte hai saahil, tum , abhi kahain ho? Agar Mumbai se nikle nahi ho to, mujhe Saroj road par milo, kuch papers discus karna tha..aur driver ko lakshya ko pick up karne bhej do..
Saahil agrees…

In another car, Rishabh is calculating all the money he has swiped off the investors and how many more he will be added to his account, as he signs the deal..he looks at his new passport, and thinks "Abhishek Chatterjee" will be a good man…not conniving, and not a con man..and smiles at himself…he heres muffled cry for help from the back of his car..and turns around.and talks to the tied up and gagged person sitting behind…
R: Oh…tum comfortable nehi ho kya??
R: Arey tum kaise bologi, tumhara to muh band hai..baas kuch ghantoin ki hi baat hai..fir tum azaad ho jaogi….sweet heart!
And laughs out hysterically…


Saahil meets Ganga at Saroj road, Ganga picks up Saahil, and Saahil tells the driver to go pick up Lakshya and drive him to Lonavala..The driver leaves with Saahil's car..the car following his car, stops, not knowing whts happening. The driver of the following car,calls some one…
Driver: Sir, us gaadi mein jo tha, wohh to utar gaya, lekin, us gaadi mein, abhi bhi shayad koi hai, kyon ki wohh highway ki taraf nikal gayi..
Callee: Kaun utra? Kuch pata hai?
Driver: Andhere mein nahi dikha sir.
Callee: Tum logoin se koi kaam nahi hota…ab us gaadi ko hi follow karo..aur jaisa kaha hai, waisa karo…mumbai cross karne ke baad..smajhe?


Saahil and Ganga leave in Ganga's car. Ganga is driving the car, and Saahil looks at her from the passenger seat… the awkward silence between them is broken only by the occasional honks of the car..until Ganga breaks the silence..
G: Saahil, tumne papers check kar liye haina
S: Ganga, mujhe samjh nahi araha hai ki, hamne aone price kam kyon nahi ki?
G: Kyon ki, yah deal utni kaam kimat mein sign nahi ki ja sakti.. aur mujhe pura yakeen hai, ki yah Rishabh malhotra, koi jana mana industrialist nahi hai.
S: Yah tum kya ka rahi ho Ganga?
G: Sahi kah rahi huin…wohh kaun hai, kahain se hai, yah saari details, Sharma ji lekar hamein lonaval mein milenge…tab pata chalega…ki asli kaun aur nakli kaun..
S: Ganga…agar tum bura na mano to, ek baat kahuin..
G: Hain bolo..
S: Wohh…mujhe maloom hai , ki tum aaj bhi mujhse..bahut naaraz ho..meine tumhare dil dukhaya…janta huin mein, ki mujhse bahut badi galti hui hai..
G: Saahil..in saab batoin ka ab kya fayada..jo ho gaya so ho gaya…
S: Nahi Ganga, mein apni galti ka prayaschit karna chata huin…ek mauka to do…mujhe apni galti ka ahsas hai..
G: Galti…hmm…aur mere bachoin se meri doori?? Jis tarah nakul mujhse nafrat karta hai, uska kya Saahil?? Jante ho Saahil..pyaar karna aur jatana bahut assan hai…usse sacche dil se nibhana..utna hi muskeel..sach to ye hai..ki chahe mera dil kuch bhi kahe…shayad mein tum par fir kabhi bharosa nahi kar paungi…
Saahil looks down sad and upset..and they drive in complete silence…


The driver picks up Lakshya and drives off towards Lonavala…

The following happens beween 10-10:15 pm

In the pitch of the night…the highway had twists and turns…the driver blinded by the blazing lights of the on coming truck as he made a sharp turn, lost control and… hit the truck, head on…and went tumbling down the side of the road...until it blew up into an inferno…passing by cars couldn't do much...but on look on in horror…

(To Be Continued)

Chap 10

The valley is brightened with the burning inferno..and some one calls the cops…The police come with search and rescue personnel and try going down the steep slopes of the valley, the rescue efforts are further slowed down by the darkness and fog in the valley…However, the rescuers find their way to the burning car..and try to see if anyone is alive…they see a partially burnt body over at the drivers seat and another on the back seat and the passenger side seat…all the bodies are badly charred…They try to pull the bodies out for identification, but they are so badly burnt, they cannot be recognized..the dead are taken up to the road in stretchers and the by standers gasp at the scene…Suddenly somewhere near the car, a cell phone rings…The Police officer picks up the semi burnt cell phone and answers the call..
Caller remains silent…
PO: Hello? Kaun bol rahin hai aap?
The caller gets confused..
Caller: Tum kaun ho?
PO: Dekhiye..ap ke dostoin ki gaadi ka accident ho gaya hai..aur koi bhi bacha nahi hai…apko thane ana padega, identification ke liye..
Caller: Wrong number!
And the caller cuts the phone..

Saahil and Ganga reach the scene..Saahil asks the PO what happened..
PO: Car aur truck ki accident hui hai…
Saahil: Kaisi gaadi thi?
PO: Kuch kaha nahi ja skata, aag mein jhulas gaye hai..investigation ke baad hi pata chalega..
Saahil: Accha…kaun tha gaadi mein?
PO: Pata nahi…teen log the, teenoin ke teenoin mare gaye, aag mein…
and then the sub inspector brings one of the dead man's wallet…
SI: Sir, Yeh, wallet mein, kuch paise, aur yeh Photo mila..
PO looks at the photo and says to the SI..
SI: Theek hai…pata lagao ki yeh kaun hai…janch padtal karni padegi..
Saahil glancs at the photo and is shocked..
S: Inspector shaab, ek minute photo dikhaeye zara…
The PO shows him the photo and Saahil almost looses his balance…He becomes hysterical..and cries out loud…
S: Lakshya….Lakshya…yeh mera beta lakshya hai….kya hua use?
Hearing the commotion, Ganga comes out of the car…
G: Saahil, Saahil, kya hua..sambhalo apne aap ko…kya hua saahil..
PO shows the pic of Lakshya to Ganga..and then point towards the car and the bodies..
G: Aap pagal ho gaye hain kya…kya kah rahein hai, kuch maloom hai aapko? Yeh mera beta hai..aap kahna kya chate hain..ki wohh….bodies….
And then reality hits her as she realizes what the PO was trying to tell her…She freaks out and runs towards the covered bodies…
Saahil runs behind her…
Ganga slumps over one of the bodies and cries her lungs out, the PO does not let her take the cover up as it is in the public..Saahil picks up Ganga and …she thinks of when Lakshya was born..and all the memorable moments with Laksya….Saahil in tears, cries and tries to support Ganga…
S: Sambhalo apne ap ko Ganga..
Ganga is hysterically crying now..and is trying to go towards the body…
G: Nahi…Saahil…wohh nahi ana chata tha…meine kaha use ane ke liye…Saaahilll..maine apne bete ko maar daala!! Nahi…Lakshya…utho beta..Lakshya please utho beta…Nahi….Lakshya tum mujhe chod kar nahi ja sakte…She shouts his name..and faints…
Saahil with the help of some other people, put her in the car..Saahil not knowing where the nearest hospital is asks the PO..
S: Inspector Saahab, yahain paas mein hospital kahain hai?
PO: karreeb 40 km door hai…Lonavala mein..app Mumbai se arahe the na? Mumbai to aab kafi door hai..apke liye best hoga ki aap lonavala chale jaye …aur ap apna number bhi dete jaye ..post mortem ke baad hum apko phone kar denge to aap body le ja sakte hain…
Saahil tries to control his tears and gives the number…and leaves with Ganga in the car…
Saahil is crying and driving..when Ganga regains her conciousness and wakes up calling Lakshya…Saahil stops the car in a dhaaba..and brings Ganga out…and gets her some water..
S: Ganga..
Ganga still crying badly…
G: Saahil mera beta!! Saahil wo chala gaya!! Meine maar dala use saahil…mujhe bhi mar jana chahiye..saahil lakshya chala gaya …
Saahil is in tears and tries to console her…but cant..
S: Tumhari galti nahi hai Ganga…yeh accident tha..tum hari galti nahi hai..apne aap ko please maat dosh do…
G: Bhagwaan ne hamesha mujhse na insafi ki hai..pahle meri zindagi cheen li..aur aab mera beta…naahi..Saahil….mein ab zinda nahi rah sakti…she starts to run towards the road…in the pitch of the night…she is crying and running on the road…saahil is running behind her…He catches up to her..and slaps her..Ganga gets shocked, but she cries..
S: Ganga!! Meine abhi apna beta khoya hai, mein tumhein nahi kho sakta!! Pagal ho gayi ho kya tum!! Tumhein kuch hogaya to mein kya karunga..tum meri zindagi, mera pyaar ho Ganga…sambhalo apne aap ko…
Ganga hugs Saahil and they both cry….
Saahil slowly brings a deranged Ganga back in the car..and slowly they drive the remaining distance towards the nearest hospital to get Ganga checked up…

In Rishabh's car…rishabh thinks to himself…as to why it's taking so long!! He looks in his back seat and sees that his captive, his sweetheart Tripti, is trying to free herself….he says to her..
R: Chinta mat karo Tripti jaan..hum manzil ke bahut kareeb hain…mere aad mionein kaam kar diya hoga ab tak…par pata nahi unka call kyon nahi aya! Pahle call kiya to wrong numbe laga…mein lonavala chal kar hi call kar lunga…
Tripti struggles in the back seat, gagged and bound..and is angry that rishabh had, had her kidnapped…she promises to herself that she will have her revenge..
What she didn't know was, what Rishabh had planned for her…

In Ganga's car..her cell phone rings..but she does not hear it..it is in vibrating mode…the caller calls more than once…and then the phone stops vibrating…Ganga is lying in the back seat and resting..saahil takes his phone out and calls SN…
KT picks up the phone..
KT: Hello?
S: KT? Saahil bol raha huin..
KT: Chachu, itne raat ko phone kar rahein hain? Saab theek to hai na..
S: KT, Badi Ma kahain hai?
KT: Baa to so rahi hai, main neeche pani peene ayi thi…kya baat hai chachu?
S: KT wohhh…
KT: Chachu…aap mujhe dara rahe ho aab..kya hhua??
Tulsi wakes up and comes down…
KT: Chachu..boliye na..kya hua?? Saab theek to hain na??Chachu?
S: Lakshya …
KT: Lakshya ??Lakshya ko kya hua Chachu??
Tulsi takes the phone from KT, KT gets worried..
T: Saahil, Tulsi bol rahi huin..kya baat hai? Kya hua?
S: Badi Ma..Badi ma..saab khatam ho gaya badi ma..
T: Kya Matlab?? Kya hua Saahil..kuch to bol..
By now Mihir, Karan, Gomzi have all come out to the hall.. slowly everyone comes out to the hall…
S: Badi Ma…Lakshya….aab nahi raha..
Tulsi drops the phone from her hand…Mihir runs towards a staggering Tulsi and picks up the phone..
M: Saahil…kya hua?
S: Bade papa..Lakshya hamein chod ke chala gaya Bade papa!! Mera beta chala Gaya!!
M: yeh tum kya kah rahe ho..kaise? Kya hua..Tum kahain ho?
S: Mein Ganga ko Lonavala ke hospital mein leke ja raha huin..
M: Theek hain..mein a raha huin..and he hangs up the phone..
By now everyone is worried as to what happened..
Mihir makes tulsi sit..Karan comes forward..
K: Papa..kya hua..sab theek to hai na..
Tulsi mumbles something to herself..
K: Ma..kya hua ma…
T: Lakshya…Mera Kisna..
KT comes slowly towards Tulsi..
KT: Baa…Lakshya ko kya hua Baa? Boliye na..
Tulsi breaks down completely..she shouts in her tears….: Krishna Tulsi…mera Kisna…mera kisna ab is duniya mein nahi raha..nahi raha mera Lakshya…
KT and everyone in the house is shocked….KT staggers and falls on the ground…

Chap 11

Karan and Mihir take KT to the hospital, where the doc diagnoses that she is suffering from intense shock,and that any further shock could put her in coma. Mihir is really worried…Tulsi calls..
T: Mihir, KT kaisi hai?
M: Doc ne kaha hai ,ki use aram ki zaroorat hai..karan yahain par uske saath hai, mein Lonavala ke liye ravana ho raha huin..
T: Mihir..
M: Hain Tulsi?
T: Yeh kya ho gaya Mihir…hamara kisna..
And Tulsi breaksdown…
M: Tulsi, sambhalo apne aap ko..is katin waqt mein, tumein hi bharosa dilana hai sab ko, ki saab theek ho jayega..aur fir Ganga aur Saahil ke bare mein bhi to socho..
T: Mihir, mein tumhare saath chalungi..
M: lekin Tulsi..
T: Nahi, tum ghar ao, mein tumhare saath chalungi..
And Tulsi keeps the phone.

Karan walks upto Mihir..
K: papa..aap ghar jaiye..mein huna, yahain KT ke saath..
M: theek hai, mein ghar se kisi ko bhej deta huin.
K: theek hai papa..
And Mihir leaves for SN.

In SN, every one is mourning, no one can believe what has happened…
Mihir reaches there.. Tulsi eagerly walks uptohim..
T: Kt theek hai na?
M: Hain, baas aram kar rahi hai..
Ekalavya walks towards Mihir..
E: Dadu…(he looks down ashamedly…and sadly)
M: Ekalavya, chinta mat karo, KT ko kuch nahi hoga…agar tum chaho to tum hospital mein uske paas bait sakte ho..
E: Theek hai, mein ja raha huin..
And Eku leaves for the hospital…
Tulsi and Mihir tell everyone that they are going to Lonavala, and Gomzi says, he would accompany them too, so the three of them leaves, after taking Baa's blessing.
Baa is crying, and is unconsoalble..Damini and Mohini try to calm her down..
Baa: Mujhe Kisna se milna hai…hey thakurji, yeh kya ho gaya…mera kisna mujhe wapas lauta do bhagwan…
Damini: Baa, ap chaliye..apki tabiyat kharab ho jayegi..
Baa: Nahi Damini, jab tak mein apne kisna ko nahi dekhungi tab tak, pani ka ek boond bhi nahi peungi..
Damini and everyone gets very worried..and a deranged Baa leaves for her room..accompanied by Archita and Dakhsa…

In Lonaval, Saahil reachs their guest house. It's late in the night, he wonders how he is going to get to the hospital now…He gently picks her up from the back seat of the car and takes her into the guest house. He puts her down in one of the room and begins to leave…when ganga slowly wakes up and holds his arm…
G: Maat jao Saahil..mujhe chod kar maat jao..
S: kahin nahi ja raha huin Ganga, mein yahin par huin…Baas tumhara luggage la raha tha..
G: Mere paas baitho ..
Saahil walks up beside her and sits on the side of the bed..
Ganga looks blankly outside the window and tears roll down her eyes..
S: Ganga, maat ro…mein samajh sakta huin tum kya mahsoos kar rahi ho…lakshya hamara beta tha…
And Saahil looks at Ganga with lots of affection, Ganga takes his hand in here…
G: Mujhse wada karo Saahil, tum Lakshya ko mere paas leke aoge..
S: Lekin Ganga..
G: lekin kuch nahi Saahil…mujhe mera beta lauta do Saahil…
Ganga cries and hugs Saahil…Saahil consoles Ganga and they share a warm hug….
Saahil waits beside Ganga, till she falls asleep..he keeps looking at her ..and somewhere in the guest house the song "Tere chare se nazar hatti nahi , kya ham karrin" aptly plays. And with the passing night, worn out from the day, saahil falls asleep sitting by her side,holding her hand…

In Ganga's car, her cell phone rings again…and in vain again…

Rishabh reachs Lonavala and takes a captive tripti into a warehouse. There he ties up Tripti to a chair, takes her gag out and lights cigarette..he lets out puffs of smoke onto Tripti's face, who turns her face..
R: arey arey sweet heart, tak leef ho rahi hai tumhein?? Hain??
Tripti looks on disgustinlgly at Rishabh..
T: Tum itna gir jaoge mujhe maloom nahi tha…meine kya bigada hai tumhara? Mere sahare to tum aaj yahain tak pahunch paye ho..
R Sahi kaha tumne Tripti…mujhe tumhara istemaal bahut pahle hi kar lena chahiye tha..
Ab dekhona..bacchpan se aaj tak, mujhmein bantne ki aadat nahi hai…ab 50 karod to mere hai hi, kal ke deal se milne wala advance bhi mera ho jaega…fir mein tumhara kya karunga, Tripti??
And he laughs out loud! Tripti is shocked to hear all this..
T: Tumhein mein itni asani se nahi jane dungi Rishabh…bahut pachtaoge tum is dhoka ke liye..kaal sab ke samne mein tumhari sacchai la dungi..
Rishabh laughs and says..
R: Kya baat hai, umra ke saath dimag bhi satak gaya hai kya tumhara?? Yahain tum kaidi ho, aur mein baas..(he pulls out his gun and looks at it) kal kaam ke baad trigger dabane ki der hai..fir kaun Tripti, kahain ki Tripti..koi tumhein miss bhi nahi karega..are mein to shantiniketan ka ek kanta hata rah huin…
And he continues to laugh..while tripti looks on shockingly at the gun and unbelievingly at Rishabh..
R: Oh waise..tumhein to batana hi bhool gaya..kaal jab mein tumhara kaam tamam karunga, tab tum, apne pati, Saahil, aur Bete ko bhagwan ke paas jakar, mere taraf se hi bol dena..samjhi?? Hhahahah..
Tripti cant believe what she just heard..she tries to say something, Rishabh gags her again and leaves..

Someone checks into one of the rooms of the guest house in which Ganga and Saahil are staying…

Ekalavya reachs the hospital, laste into the night, and meets karan their..
E: Karan Chahcu…aap ghar chale jaiye..
K: You sure Ekalavya? Mujhe koi pareshani nahi hai rukne mein..
E: Nahi chachu, mein huin yahain..ap jaiye..
Karan leaves..Ekalavya comes and sits beside a sleeping KT..
He holds her hand, and in deep sleep KT tightly holds Eku's hand and calls out 'Lakshya'..Eku slowly withdraws his hands,..walks towards the window and thinks of how much he really loves KT,and how much he has hurt her….he thinks of how he used to be and how much he has changed…he turns back at KT, with moist eyes..and thinks of how much she indeed loves lakshya…and the fact that Lakshya, his younger brother is no more…tears roll down his eyes…He leaves KT's room and walks towards the murthi of Lord Ganesha..bends his head down…and speaks slowly..
E: mein janta huin, ki meine apne pyaar ko pane ke liye, apnoin ko dookh pahuin chaya…mujhe maaf kardo bhagwaan…Kt ko theek kardo…mein usse bahut pyaar karta huin…mein usse is tarah nahi dekh sakta…meine uski zindagi to usse nahi lauta sakta..paar mujhmein itni sakti do bhagwaan ki mein usse khush rakh sakuin…

He notices the flickering diya and takes ashirwad from it..he notices kumkum beside it…the night slowly turns stormy and heavy winds begin to blow…he picks up the kumkum from the lord's plate and puts a teeka on his head…

Chap 12

Mihir and tulsi reach Lonavala the next morning and enter the guest house..they ask for Ganga and saahil…the manager says they are taking rest and show mihir and tulsi, their room..
Rishabh has Tripti tied up in the warehouse…she tries and struggles to free herself…in a corner of the little room, she sees some uncut metal plates and tries to inch towards them..she falls from her chair and drags herself to the metal plates and first successfully gets the rope off her feet, and then she starts to cut the rope off her hands, but she hears some foot step, thinking, that if it's rishabh, and might kill her if he found out she was trying to escape, she runs back to chair, hides her feet in her saree and sits there like nothing happened. A man enters the warehouse and sees her tied up…Tripti looks up and is shocked…

Ganga wakes up in finds Saahil sleeping while sitting by her side, holding her hand, she slowly wakes up without disturbing him, and puts a pillow behind his head..as she starts to get out of the bed,her pallu gets caught in Saahil's watch…she tries to free it, but in vain, in the tug , Saahil wakes up..and sees Ganga trying to free her pallu. He gently picks the stuck side, unhooks it off the watch and takes the pallu and puts it around her shoulder, and on top of her head…Ganga looks on shocked…Saahil breaks her silence..
S: Ganga, hamein Police station chalna hoga..
Ganga suddenly remembers all that happened the previous night and staggers and sits on the bed..Saahil sits besides her and consoles her..Ganga rests her head on Saahil's shoulder and closes her eyes…
S: Kaash yeh saab sapna hota..
G: Meine bhagwan ka kya bigada hai…kyon wohh meri zindagi barbaad karna chate hain..
S: Hamein aaj police station jana padega..
Ganga gets angry and stands up
G: Mein kahin nahi jaungi! Kuch nahi hua hai mere lakshya ko….and she struts out..

KT wakes up and finds Ekalavya sitting by the window..looking at her…
Ekalavya, concerned , walks upto her, and she looks at him scared…memories of her horrible past suddenly blinds her and she screams…ekalavya moves back stunned, and tries to calm her..the doctors come in and tell Ekalavya to leave, he walks out and feels sad and embarrassed…He looks inside to a sedated KT and swears, he would bring her love back…

Rishabh goes to the lot that everyone was bidding for..rishabh waits for the clients and after a small wait they arrive..The client team walk upto Rishabh and shake hands..
R: Hello sir
Client: Hello Mr.Rishabh..
R: Kaisa laga apko mera proposal
C: Well, hum kafi khush hain proposal se, but hum Ganga Industries ke ane ka wait karna chate hain..
R: Arey wohh ab nahi ayenge..apne suna nahi..unka kafi bada ghata ho gaya..unho ne, is proposal se withdraw kar liya hai…apko nahi bataya?
C: Kya? Unho nein, withdraw kar liya aur bataya tak nahi? Kaise business karte hain yeh log!!
R: tabhi to, apko yeh contract mujhe dena chahiye..
C:Well, aap yeh plot dekh lijiye, mere managers tab tak apke contract ko dobara pad lenge…

As Rishabh is about to give his proposal file..someone comes from behind and stops him.The clients turn to look who it is..
He turns towars the Clients…putting his hand forward for a shake and says…
"Hello, Sir, Mein Lakshya Virani huin,I am representing Ganga Industries, Der ke liye maafi chahta huin…"

Chap 13

Tripti looks up shocked to find one of Rishabh's man entering with a gun in his hand..She is scared and tries to move and pretends not to be able to run…the goon, comes closer and when he is right infront of her face…He laughs hysterically..Tripti is now seething with anger and is also scared and mad at rishabh for betraying her this way…
The goon, holds the gun in one hand and her face in another..and flips out the tape and gag from her mouth..
G: Kya…kaisa lag raha hai tere ko?
T: Kya bhakwas kar rahe ho! Tameez nahi hai, ek aurat ke saath kaise baat karte hai!
G: Chuup..ek shabad bhi nahi..
T: Rishabh ko to mein nahi chodungi!!
The goon laughs out loud..and tripti squirms in his grip..trying to get his hands off her face…The goon puts the barrel of his gun right in front of her forehead..
G: Rishabh sir ka order hai..jaise hi unka call ayega, tujhe khatam karne ka…smajhi
Tripti is shocked that Rishabh actually wants her killed…the goon keeps on saying..
G: Baas abhi kisi bhi waqt call ayega..aur ek aur khel tamam…
And he continues to laugh hysterically..as he stands up look around..tripti sees the opportunity and kicks him squarely on his shin which knocks the gun out of his hands..The goon, lets out a sharp cry…before he can get up, tripti kicks him on his head, and he falls unconsciously..she runs towards the metal plates again and successfully cuts the ropes from her hand, and in the process, cuts her hand…blood oozes out..she holds her hand, takes the gun, searches the pocket of the goon, finds the car keys and his wallet ,and runs outside the warehouse, but cant find the car…she walks few more feet down to the dirt road, to find another goon, standing and smoking by the car…she hides behind the bushes and slowly inches towards the goon..the goon occasionally looks towards the warehouse..but does not notice Tripti…Tripti finally close to the car, takes a big stone and throws it in the opposite direction..the goon, gets distracted and walks cautiously to see what the disturbance was behind the trees, as he moves away, tipti runs towards the car, gets in and starts..the goon turns back, but before he could say something, tripti is half way out into the road, kicking up dirt..and the goon mutters curses under his breath and calls Rishabh..

In the plot location, lakshya introduces himself, as representing the Ganga industries..and shakes hands with the clients. The clients, clearly surprised, accept his aplogises for being late while, a shocked and eyes-popping-out-of-socket Rishabh looks on baffled. Lakshya looks at Rishabh…
L: Mein janta tha ki aap kisi bhi halat mein yeh deal hadap na chate the..
R: Yeh kya bakwas kar rahe ho tum..
L: Yeh to, meri Mom ka business skills hai ki, unhoine aap ke bare mein sab kuch pata kar liya tha..
R: lakshya, tum kya kah rahe ho??
He looks towards the clients..the clients are obviously confused by now..
C: Mr. Virani, yeh aap kya kar rahe hain?
L: App logoin ko maloom nahi ki yeh kitna bada jaal saaz hai!
R: Baas lakshya, mein janta tha ki tum mere business rival ho, par itne gir jaoge, aur is tarah kichad uchalo..yeh meine tumse expect nahi kiya tha…
The clients look doubtfully at Lakshya ..rishabh takes this opportunity and continues..
R: Dekhiya, ap log is bacche ke kahne par maat jayi ye..assal mein, yeh, Ganga industries mein kaam hi nahi karta..yeh to virani industries mein bhi kaam nahi karta..
Lakshya tries to say something..
C: Mr. Virani, kya yeh baat sacch hai? Ki aap Ganga industries mein kaam nahi karte?
L: Ji magar, mujhe Ganga Virani ne khud bheja hai…
C: Par wohh kyon a nahi saki?
L: wohh baas ati hi hongi…kisi kaam mein atak gayi hongi…
R: Aap iske batoin mein, mat aye yeh..aap yeh papers sign kar dijiye..yeh baas ham donoin ka kimati waqt barbad karna chata hai..
L: Par mein sacch kah raha huin..Rishabh Malhotra naam ka koi industries hai hi nahi Mumbai mein…eye jaalsaaz hai..aap log mere bat par viswaash kyon nahi karte..
R: Baas laskhya, bahut ho gaya…
C: Hain Mr.Virani, hum apke batoin par barosa, karte, agar Ganga yahain par hoti to..
Lakshya thinks to himself..
Ma..aap kahain ho…please plase jaldi aao..yahain saab haat se nikala ja raha hai…
Cleints look towards Rishabh…and speak..
C:Theek hai..hamein apka proposal pasand hai…chaliye, ghadi mein kuch aur documents hai, wohh bhi sign karna hai…
The clients walk towards their cars…Rishabh slowly follows behind them..turns back and gives a smug smile at Lakshya…Lakshya looks on helplessly..and tries to reach Ganga..

Ganga and Saahil get ready and drag themselves to the police station..all the way, Ganga crying and not wanting to go, but Saahil makes her understand and they reach the police station…They go inside and ask for the Police officer..the constable takes them inside..
PO: Hello Mr. Viarni. Apki bete ke liya, I am really sorry!
S: Hum, jald se jald body ko leke jana chate hain…
Ganga breaks down and cries…Saahil controls and makes her sit in the chair…
S: tum baitho, mein dekh kar ata huin…
G: Nahi, mein bhi chalungi..
S: nahi Ganga..tum baitho…
Ganga sits crying in the chair and Saahil goes with the inspector to the morgue..
Saahil can hardly take his steps toward the bodies…but staggers on…all the images and memories of Lakshya as a kid floats back to him and he weeps…the Insector stops before one of the bodies..lifts the cloth, saahil initially turns away..but slowly turns back and is relieved to find it's not Lakshya..he moves to the next body, and the inspector again lifts the cover and saahil is shakes his head for a no..the inspector moves towards the third body and the inspector is about to take the cover up but Saahil stops him..
S: Yeh saab kaun hai..mere bete ki gaadi mein, mera driver tha, in donoin me se, to mera driver koi bhi nahi..aur apne kaha ki sirf teen hi bodies mili…to iska Matlab…
PO: Iska Matlab yeh hai Mr. Virani, ki agar yeh teesra aap driver na hua, to fir apka beta abhi bhi zinda hai…(and the inspector smiles. As he slowly lifts the cover…)
Saahil turns to look at the body and cant believe his eyes…he runs out of the morgue…and stops right befor Ganga..with tears welding in his eyes..
Ganga looks up..ans comes closer to Saahil..holds his colar and shakes him…
G: Kya hua saahil..kuch bolo na..tum bolte kyon nahi saahil..
Saahil is stunned and is not able to speak anything…
G: Saahil…kuch to bolo..Saahil…kya hua…kya wohh..kya wohh, hamara beta tha..saahil batao mujhe saahil please..
S: Nahi…
Ganga is shocked…and lets go of Saahil..and sinks back in the chair..

On the other hand…Tripti drives the car as fast as she can…and tries to reach the plot location..she gets caught up in the traffic…

Meanwhile, in the guesthouse, Mihir and Tulsi go towards Saahil and Ganga's room,not finding them..they go down stairs and ask where Saahil and Ganga are, for which the manager says, that they are in the police station, to identify bodies..both Tulsi and Mihir are shocked…
Mihir and Tulsi rush to the police station….and find Ganga sobbing and Saahil hugging her…Saahil sees Mihir and Tulsi..and says..
S: Badi Ma..
Ganga looks up to them and runs towards Tulsi and hugs her and cries..
T: Sambhalo apne aap ko Ganga…aab Saahil aur Nakul ka khayal tumhein rakhna hai…
G: Lakshya Ka bhi, Ma…
Tulsi looks on shocked…

G: Hain main..(with happiness in her tears)..mera, mera lakshya wahan(pointing towards the morgue) nahi hai…wohh wahain nahi hai Ma…lakshya zinda hai Ma..
T: Mein janti thi beta..mera kisna, mujhe chod ke kabhi nahi ja sakta..kahain hai wohh,,
Saahil interrupts..
S: Main janta huin, wohh kahain hoga..chaliye mere saath…
A confused mihir, tulsi and ganga follow saahil..and get into the car and they drive away..

Tripti is stuck in the traffic and curses rishabh…
T: Tumne yeh accha nahi kiya rishabh..aab tumhein mujhse koi nahi bacha sakta..koi nahi..tumne tripti ko double cross kiya hai rishabh…mein tumhein nahi chodungi…iska anjam bahut hi bura hoga!..

She skirts throw the traffice, and manages to get on to the road towards the plot…she does not notice that there is another car right behind her…saahil and all are in that car..tulsi notices the car infront and thinks she has seen it somewhere, but cant remember where..they all drive towards the plot…tripti's car kicks up a lot of dust…saahil parks his car and as the dust settles down….
Rishabh looks up and so does lakshya and the clients…
Saahil and ganga walk up towards them from one end, and tripti walks up from another…everyone is shocked to see the other person! Tripti is shocked to see mihir and tulsi..saahil is shocked to see tripti…Ganga looks ate lakshya and runs to him..

G: Lakshya..lakshya…mera beta…tu theek to hai na…
Lakshya looks confused…
L: Aap kya kah rahi hi?? Mein to bilkul theek huin..mene kitni baar apke phone par call kiya tha…raste mein ek accident ho gaya tha, par who meri gaaadi ke peeche wali gadi thi, driver ne bataya mujhe…aur meine socha aap logoin kp phone karke khabar kar duin…
Saahil walks upto them…and is happy to see lakshya…tripti walks up to rishabh..mihir and tulsi join saahil ..they all look towards the clients…rishabh is all panicky..
R to the clients..
R: Kahain sign karna hai..zaldi boliye…
C: zaldi kya hai Mr.Rishabh..aab to Ganga mam bhi a gayi hai…hum unse bhi mil lete hain…
Rishabh gets furious…Tripti comes by the clients..
T: Aap logoin ne rishabh ka proposal to dekh hi liya hai…aab aur kya dskhna baki hai..Ganga to taiyar bhi nahi hai!..
Rishabh looks shocked…but plays along…
R: Hain…aap bhi sign kar dijiye…baas fir hum partners…
Ganga comes there…
G: Rukh jao Mr.Rishabh Malhotra!
Rishabh and Tripti look up and so do the clients..
G: Rishabh ki sacchai mai bata ti huin..
Yeh koi industrialist nahi…yeh to koi job bhi nahi karta hai! Iski company bhi fake hai!! Mere paas sare sabot hai…

Rishabh gets outraged! He quickly comes towards Ganga and moves her away at gun point…every body is shocked…

R: App log abhi yeh papers sign kijiye! Kijiye abhi! Warna..is bechari ki zindagi chali jayegi..
T: Rishabh…khabardar jo tune ganga ko kuch kiya…
Clients: Yeh aap logoin ka apas ka mamla hai…hamein ismein nahi panda hai..hum yeh deal aap mein se kisi ko bhi nahi dena chate hai..
Rishabh is shocked…Tripti sees the loss, and pulls out her gun and points it at one of the client managers. Now, the clients are shocked!
T: Khabar daar so kisi ne hilne ki koshish ki to…aap sign kije..abhi isi waqt…
C: Check…check kiske naam par…
Both rishabh and tripti speak out at the same time..
R: Rishabh..
T: Tripti..
C: kaun sa…
T: Mere naam par! Tripti Malhotra..
Everyone is stunned…except for Rishabh who laughs out hysterically…
The clients write the check in tripti's name..tripti snatches the check from them..and drag the client with her…
Rishabh tryin to hold on to Ganga..tries to stop tripti..saahil sees this opportunity and throws a stone at Rishabh..who loses control of the gun..ganga gets away from him an picks up the gun….there is strong wind in the plot…and the check flies off tripti's hand..in a futile attempt to save the check..she lets go of the client..the clients run to their cars…tripti and rishabh both run for the check…tripti picks up the check..rishabh tries to snatch it from her….ganga comes there are puts the gun on rishabh's head…rishabh is shocked..Tripti laughs out loud…
T: Accha hai..tumne mera kaam asaan kar diya…is ne mujhe kidnap karke mujhe maar ne ki koshish ki na…tumhi isse maar do..kaam katham..
